epilating
Pulling out follicles
Epilating is removing hair by the root rather than cutting it at the surface.
The term covers various methods—waxing, tweezing, or using an electric epilator that grasps and pulls multiple hairs simultaneously.
The results last longer than shaving: I spent an hour epilating my legs before the beach trip.
